Monkey
Town has 25 different species of exotic monkeys – all born in
captivity. Some used to be lonely pets kept mostly in cages while
others were rejected by their mothers due to the unfortunate fact
that female primates raised in isolation seldom learn to nurture their
young. At Monkey Town these discarded animals are reintroduced to
members of their own species and eventually become part of family
groups.
Many of the 25 species at Monkey Town are on the endangered list,
mainly due to diminishing habitats, deforestation, the bush meat and
pet traders. Monkey Town aims to make a contribution to the conservation
and protection of primate species on the brink of extinction. You
too can become involved and assist to provide a safe haven for these
aggrieved monkeys. After all, we owe them a living – it was
man who destroyed their natural habitat.
We need your help to help them! Join the Friends of Monkey Town by
either adopting a monkey or by taking up membership.
